"We still qualify las las"

Nigerian afro-pop artist, David Adeleke a.k.a Davido, has stirred mixed reactions among Nigerians and Ghanaians just after he was featured on the official soundtrack of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The ace singer, who referenced the Super Eagles’ failure to beat the Black Stars of Ghana and qualify for the forthcoming World Cup, triggered mixed feelings with a tweet saying: “No de wamba, we still qualify las las.”
His tweet, however, didn’t sit well with many, especially Ghanaian football fans who have since ridiculed Nigerians with their World Cup qualification that came at Nigeria’s expense.
A Nigerian netizen wrote: “@davido saved us from Ghana; If Ghanaian tell me say I [Nigeria] no qualified; I go asked them if any of their musician don sing for world cup. I’m undefeated. Las Las na draw.”
@Fgoldoee, a Ghanaian football fan replied: “Lie, although I congratulat Davido, you can’t take it away that we beat Nigeria to be in Qatar.”


Another Ghanaian football fan wrote: “Nigerians too de brag, thank God we beat una.”

Nigeria’s failure to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar has been deemed a blessing in disguise by two Nollywood stars, Mary Njoku and Williams Uchemba.

Reacting to Super Eagles’ unfavourable 1-1 draw with Ghana, actress Mary on her Instagram page noted that she’s grateful Nigeria was disqualified because it would have been a distraction for the youths to focus on the country’s insecurity challenge and its alleged bad government.
In her words: “Thank God we didn’t qualify for the world cup. It would have been a distraction.
“We need to focus on the real problems in Nigeria. And pressure the Govt to do something. An attack on a train! An attack at the airport The insecurity in Nigeria is alarming! No more unnecessary distractions!!!! This needs everyone’s attention!!
Uchemba, who shared the same view on his Instagram page wrote: “Maybe it’s good we lost. So we can channel our anger on the pressing issue in the country.

“Almost 1000 Nigerian citizens cannot be accounted for and people are acting like It’s a normal thing.”
